Commission Government.
Government by commission has
been a threat held ovr the islands
by some people for many years past.
Tin' fact that, always in the past, there
have been internal disagreements a
bout almost every appoin'ment made
l.y Washington to a federal island po
sition, and about many other matters
that only needed a real "get-together"
feeling to put an end to, has, no doubt,
had its et'feqt In the national capilol
where, after all. these islands do not
loom up as large as the residents of
the group imagine. Still, it. must be
said that since the authorities have
started to fortify Oahu and make it
practically a garrison town, Hawaii
lias loomed up more prominently
in the eyes of the administration
than ever before. But, this very fact
has made the commission form of gov
ernment more probable, and there is
i lot to be said in favor of the idea
from the viewpoint of Washington.
It can hardly be expected that the
national government, is to go on
spending millions ol dollars in making
Oaliu impregnable and in improving
conditions generally, while elected
county officials continue to make a
mess of tilings altogether and embar
rass the military. An end must come
to such an arrangement some day, and
there are those who would welcome
a commission form of government,
for then a terrible amount of waste
would be avoided and the people
would get more for their money ev
ery way. Oahu seems fated to be
come not only a part of the commiss
ioned governed territory, but also a
separate military governed garrison
town, where the commanding ollicer
will be supreme. When this comes to
pass, Hilo will be far more important
than she is at present, and this city
will not be worried much by the
military authorities. The commission
government will, of course, do away
with our elected county officials and
consequently, there will be no polities
to worry the intelligent voters who
will, automatically, become non
voters. Hawaii Herald.

Weekly Market Letter.
March 27, 1916
Vegetables of all sorts are beginning
to come in and are of much belter
finality than at any time since the
heavy rains. Such vegetables as cab
bage and sweet corn are scarce and
bringing abnormally high prices. Oth
er vegetables are cheaper. There is a
new variety of string bean coming to
the niarket from Wahiawa, which
promises to be the best seller of all.
It is a large green bean, practically
striagless, tender, and has a very ex
cellent flavor.
The demand for Island butter has
increased and the prices received by
the producers are good, for a first
class product.
Eggs are selling well and there does
not seem to be an oversupply as in
previous years. At least one produc
er has faith in the egg business and
has recently imported 1700 laying
hens.
The market is short on Island poul
try and now is the time to ship in
spare roosters and hens that are not
laying, if they are in good condition.
Due to limited transportation to
California, large calamities of bananas
are being dumped on the local market.
The division lias on hand several hun
dred bunches for sale.
The shortage of veal last week has
been supplied. Small producers who
are shipping beef and veal to the Dii
vision are getting good prices con
sidering the excessive freight rates
charged from some Island ports on
